Re: Sony Ericsson's Xperias and "Carrier IQ"?

Only when requested by the carrier as the statement says. I don't have much more info on this so I suggest you ask your carrier (who are you calling with?) about this. This CIQ thing has become quite a hot topic lately so I'm sure they have more info to give.

Re: Sony Ericsson's Xperias and "Carrier IQ"?

I understand that, but my question is if I buy an Xperia unlock directly from Sony Ericsson, not through the carrier, but it will be compatible with certain carrier that utilize carrier IQ would SE include that since it will work with such network and it's sold in that country?

Checking with Carriers

ICO plans to contact mobile phone operators to see if Carrier IQ or similar software is on U.K. customers' handsets and, if so, what steps are being taken to ensure there are no privacy implications, it said.

Re: Sony Ericsson's Xperias and "Carrier IQ"?

First of all I'd like to point out that I do not know if Sony Store US sells phones with SE generic software or not so you should check this to be sure.

But - if it's generic, that is not customized or branded in any way, it does not include CIQ. So if you can find a dealer in US that sells non-customized and non-branded phones you will not have CIQ in it.
